Inclusion Criteria
  • Have Stages II to IVB head and neck cancer receiving radiation and may also be receiving chemotherapy.

    * Subjects are eligible for inclusion in the study regardless of primary Stages II to IVB head and neck cancer treatment modality (eg, surgery, chemotherapy).

  • Have voluntarily signed and dated a written informed consent form (ICF) after the nature of the study was explained to them.

  • Female subjects must be of non childbearing potential (defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile [bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy]) or;

  • Female subjects of childbearing potential must be using adequate contraception (practicing 1 of the following methods of birth control):

    • total abstinence from sexual intercourse (minimum of 1 complete menstrual cycle before study entry),
    • a vasectomized partner,
    • contraceptives (oral, parenteral, or transdermal) for 3 consecutive months prior to study drug administration,
    • intrauterine device (IUD), or
    • double barrier method (condoms, sponge, diaphragm, or vaginal ring with spermicidal jellies or cream).
  • Female subjects must have a negative serum or urinary pregnancy test result at screening (serum specimen must be obtained within 14 days prior to baseline).

Exclusion Criteria
  • Had a loss of > 10% of body weight within the 3 month period prior to the study as noted in the subjects medical history chart.
  • Have renal disease as determined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73m2.
  • Have a hemoglobin level of < 9 g/dl.
  • Have Stage 0, I, or IVC metastatic cancer.
  • Have diabetes.
  • Have any reason which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would prevent the subject from safely participating in the study.
  • Have, in the opinion of the Investigator, a dependence on alcohol.
  • Have, in the opinion of the Investigator, a dependence on illicit drugs.
